OnePlus 10T: First Impressions

OnePlus is not just a smartphone brand but a lifestyle brand. The Chinese smartphone makers always offer out-of-the-line Android devices to Android enthusiasts and power users. With its “Never Settle” motto, the company tries to provide devices with flexible and slick software. With the brand’s growing popularity, the prices kept rising for the devices. Thus, starting from the flagship-killer tag, the company now offers the premium segment smartphones.

Things are now changing as OnePlus merged into its sister company Oppo. With the merger of OnePlus and Oppo, the separation between OnePlus and sister business Oppo is fading due to the merging of their software development teams. The Chinese smartphone makers recently launched another flagship-grade smartphone in India with the name OnePlus 10T. Also Read – OnePlus 9T could launch with 108MP camera along with Color OS 11 by September 2021

Following the previous trend, the company launched another model in the T-Series. As usual, the smartphone with the “T” designation was launched in the mid-year with bits of refreshes and changes. With the release of the OnePlus 10T 5G, there has been much to talk about its features and designs. But the main question is that is the new OnePlus smartphone model capable enough to overtake the other flagship-grade smartphones in this price segment.

OnePlus 10T 5G: Overview

The newly launched OnePlus 10T 5G comes in a similar size as the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. There are very slight changes in the design language of the OnePlus 10T and the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. With initial looks, I find the outlook of the newly launched OnePlus 10 series smartphone to be impressive. Also Read – Amazfit Zepp Z smartwatch launches under Zepp branding

The new OnePlus handset comes with an elegant design. Moreover, the new design reflects the core design of every other T- series smartphone. With softer and curved edges, the OnePlus 10T 5G feels comfortable to hold in hand. The handset does not feel slippery. It feels pretty sturdy and offers an excellent grip when kept tight.

OnePlus 10T 5G: Unboxing

Usually, the OnePlus smartphone comes inside a tall OnePlus Box. This OnePlus 10 series 5G phone gets a pretty standard-designed retail box. The box packaging contains a decent-quality OnePlus protective case and a Red Cable Club membership card. The retail package also includes some OnePlus stickers and a letter from OnePlus in addition to the smartphone.

Besides these, the OnePlus 10T 5G retail box includes the phone itself and a 160W OnePlus original charger. The other box contains a SIM Tray ejector tool and a red USB Type-C cable for charging and data transfer.

OnePlus 10T 5G design

Looking at the rear camera module, I noticed that the OnePlus 10T 5G resembles a lot with the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. The rear panel camera module gets slightly bulged on the latest OnePlus 9T 5G smartphone. Compared with the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, the back panel of the OnePlus 10T 5G looks highly reflective. The glass back is exceptionally glossy and reflective. I don’t recommend using this phone without a protective case. This is because the glass back is more fragile and prone to shattering.

Talking about the physical design, the OnePlus 10T 5G gets the volume rockers on the left, while the power button sits on the right edge as usual. There is no place for an alert slider. A small speaker and a primary microphone are placed on the top edge. The bottom edge gets the dual-SIM tray and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer. Furthermore, the primary speaker sits adjacent to the primary microphone.

• Missing features on OnePlus 10T 5G

There is no 3.5mm headphone jack on this OnePlus 10 series 5G smartphone. Wireless charging, an IP certification, and e-SIM compatibility are other premium features that OnePlus believe its customers can live without, even at this pricing point.

Those who expect these features on their smartphone can go for a more premium option of the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. Overall, the OnePlus 10 T 5G will attract more gamers and those looking for faster charging. This 150W faster charging even comes with the OnePlus 10R.

• OnePlus 10T 5G Setup

During the setup process, I noticed multiple privacy and personalization options. We also get the chance to select the system font and even practice the navigation gestures. The newly launched OnePlus 10 series handset comes with a few preloaded apps, including Netflix, the OnePlus community, and a Game Manager. Also Read – Realme Book Prime, Realme Buds Air 3 TWS earphone launched at MWC, India launch tipped for March

The overall look and feel of the OxygenOS 12 are nearly stock Android. The Chinese smartphone makers have added a few valuable features to make it much more than the usual Vanilla experience. Additionally, the flagship-grade smartphone comes with a few useful gestures. These include swiping up from the bottom to go to the home screen, swiping up from the bottom, and holding to the last app.

• OnePlus 10T: Display

The 6.7-inch full-HD+ flexible AMOLED screen offers a peak refresh rate of 120Hz and an embedded fingerprint sensor. The bezels are slim on all the edges. There is no thick chin on the flagship-grade OnePlus smartphone. Furthermore, it also comes with support for HDR10+. Like the OnePlus 10R, this OnePlus smartphone offers a pixel density of 394 PPI.

It gets 88.18% of the screen-to-body ratio. In my experience, the display looks excellent. It offers a punchy color gamut and wide-viewing angles. The only downside I felt is that it has a slower in-display fingerprint scanner than the traditional one. Also Read – Tablet sales grew sharply in 2020, courtesy e-learning demands

• Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Performance

One of the plus points of the latest OnePlus 10 series 5G phone comes with the top-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. A cooling system accompanies this chipset. Furthermore, the latest OnePlus handset comes in pair with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 inbuilt storage.

The Chinese smartphone maker claims that over 30 apps can efficiently run in the background on this handset. Furthermore, we can pick up from where we left off on any particular app. Keep in mind that this notification is applicable on the top-end variant.

• Triple rear camera setup on OnePlus 10T

The primary camera on the latest OnePlus 10T is a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor which comes with optical image stabilization (OIS). Furthermore, this primary sensor comes with an f/1.8 aperture. The secondary camera is pretty primary with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor. The third lens is a 2MP macro shooter. The newly launched OnePlus handset for selfies and video calls comes with a 16MP selfie shooter.

Meanwhile, the specifications aren’t that inspiring. But, the OnePlus brand value and the rich details, even in low-lighting conditions, make it a great deal to check out. In low-lighting, the images turn out to be decent, all thanks to the 10-bit color capture support and improved image processing algorithm. The OnePlus 10 T can record up to 4K video at a 60fps frame rate for video recording.

As per my experience, I loved the image quality, and it’s worth a look if you’re not naturally photogenic. The low-light clicks are outstanding, and I obtained a superb 60FPS resolution when capturing films. Overall, it is an ideal camera phone.

OnePlus claims the smartphone can offer a day’s battery life with only 10 minutes of charging. Moreover, this phone with a full battery can last an entire day with moderate usage. Furthermore, the latest OnePlus handset also gets Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.3, NFC, and GPS.

OnePlus 10T 5G: Software Update

Recently, the newly launched OnePlus 10 series 5G received its first Android software update. The latest Android update comes with the firmware version of CPH2413_11_1_05. The update is now available in India. It brings several improvements, including system and camera optimizations. Earlier this week, OnePlus officially announced the first software update for the OnePlus 10T 5G via the OnePlus community forum.

OnePlus claims that the update improves system stability and fluency while improving startup speed and network stability. The camera’s shooting effect has also been optimized and enhanced the user experience. In addition, an infrequent issue with the camera displaying oddly in particular settings has been resolved.

Final Verdict

The OnePlus 10T is a solid phone, maybe a better deal than the OnePlus 10 Pro. Although, the newer handset isn’t a game changer. I did notice some outstanding features like the battery life.
